Prince of Tennis: Advent of Hyotei!

"So, what are your plans?" asked Atobe curiously.

"I want to see the strength of Qingxue." Ye Shifeng said, and then leisurely sipped the black tea in the cup.

"Apart from Tezuka, there doesn't seem to be anything noteworthy in Seigaku."

"If we were to say, the real mountain standing in front of Hyotei, it should be Rikkai University, right?"

Atobe spoke out his thoughts.

Although he did care about Tezuka, Qingxue did not make him feel threatened in any real sense.

After all, in the Tokyo region, Hyotei is the top seed.

In the past two years, Qingxue has not even had a chance to produce any real results.

In Atobe's opinion, even this year, Seigaku may not be qualified to enter the finals.

The two teams may not even get a chance to meet again.

"Atobe, don't underestimate Seigaku."

"This year, there is a super newcomer joining the Qingxue class."

Hearing this, Tsuchiya became even more curious.

"Oh?"

"But we at Hyotei also have a super rookie like you."

"Moreover, is the minister joining us here by parachuting in?"

Ye Shifeng did not refute this.

Knowing that Tobe will not give up easily, he naturally has to rely on his own strength to secure the position of captain.

However, he was not worried and believed that he had the ability to lead Bingdi forward.

"I don't want you to underestimate the enemy either."

"This new player from Qingxue has a great background. I watched his game when I went to the United States a year ago."

"It is said that he is a tennis genius who won four consecutive U.S. junior tennis championships."

"His father is the once famous samurai, Echizen Nanjiro."

After hearing this, Atobe became a little concerned.

He had heard of this name before.

But what I didn’t expect was that the son of this former tennis legend would join Seigaku.

But even so, Atobe still didn't feel threatened by Seigaku.

"Even with his joining, it seems that Seigaku has nothing to worry about."

Ye Shifeng smiled faintly at this.

Naturally, I am quite pleased with Jibe's confidence.

At the same time, he also said: "In fact, the most important thing to pay attention to is not how strong this super rookie is, but the chemical reaction he brings."

"Perhaps, it will be able to change the overall situation of Qingxue."

"Plus, Tezuka's strength has completely recovered. Perhaps this year's Seigaku will become Hyotei's biggest rival in the Tokyo area."

After hearing this, Atobe was also a little surprised.

But he knew Ye Shifeng very well.

He has always been the best at keeping everything under control. He knows everything he needs to do and never fights a battle without preparation.

Therefore, to be able to say these things, one must have done some early research on Qingxue.

"So, are you planning to alert Tezuka about his injury?" asked Atobe.

At this moment, Jibe also agreed with this in his heart.

What he also wants to defeat is Tezuka completely!

"Yes, but he needs to know this clearly and make the decision himself."

"So, contact Qingxue and arrange a friendly match before the official competition begins."

"By the way, I can also get to know the opponent's strength in advance."

Ye Shifeng said lightly.

"It seems that you have been eyeing my position as Minister for a long time."

"What a troublesome guy."

Atobe shook his head, feeling helpless.

"That's a bit too polite."

"Let's go, let's relax in the hot springs together. I'll tell you about Leon's situation in the past two years."

Ye Shifeng stepped forward and put his arm around Atobe's shoulders.

There seemed to be some disgust on Atobe's face, but he did not refuse.

……

The next day.

After some conversation, Coach Sakaki took over the communication.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Youth Academy.

As the coach of the tennis club, Coach Ryusaki received a call from Coach Sakaki.

Coach Ryuzaki: “Is that so?”

"Being able to have a friendly match with Hyotei before the official match will also bring many benefits to our Seigaku."

"However, I need to check with the players first before I reply."

Coach Sakaki: "Okay, no problem. That's a bother."

Soon, in the afternoon, Coach Ryuzaki called Tezuka and informed him of the matter.

"Are you saying that Hyotei Academy wants to have a friendly match with us?"

“This is indeed a good experience for the team members.”

Seeing that Tezuka agreed with the idea, Coach Ryuzaki nodded slightly.

"In that case, I will arrange a time with the other party."

"Let the players gather together for a while."

Afterwards, the two sides reached an agreement to hold this friendly match next Saturday.

The location is in Ye Shifeng's manor.

At this time, everyone in the Qingxue Tennis Club was practicing.

A boy wearing a hat is training on the court with another boy who looks very active.

"Hey, Echizen, your ball speed seems to be a lot slower than the first time we played."

"Didn't you eat enough burgers?"

The person who spoke was one of the regular players of Seigaku, the second-year student Momoshiro Takeshi.

On the opposite side was Ryoma Echizen, a first-year student who had just joined Seigaku.

"No need for you to talk too much."

Echizen responded with an indifferent expression.

Momoshiro Takeshi didn't care and easily returned the oncoming ball.

Just when both parties were getting into the mood and having a great time, suddenly a call came.

"Everyone, assemble immediately!"

Everyone looked and saw that it was Coach Ryuuzaki and Tezuka who appeared together.

All team members dare not slack off even a little bit.

Soon, the assembly was completed.

The starting players stand in front and the substitutes stand in the back.

The remaining freshmen are at the end.

"Daishi, what could it be?"

At this time, Kikumaru Eiji, who had middle-parted curly hair, asked in a low voice with some curiosity.

"I don't know either." Oishi Hideichiro shook his head when asked, and then guessed, "It should be about this year's competition."

At this time, Coach Ryuzaki looked at Tezuka and said, "Tezuka, you will be the one to make the announcement."

"Yes."

Tezuka nodded, then announced solemnly.

"Next Saturday, we will have a friendly match with Hyotei Academy, which is also in the Tokyo area."

“I hope everyone will be well prepared.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.

"Want to play a friendly match?"

"This seems to be the first time!"

"Besides, our opponent is actually Hyotei! Maybe this time, we can win!"

Eiji looked excited, with no burden at all.

Dashi shook his head and said conservatively, "It won't be that easy, but I didn't expect that such a friendly match would be organized."

"A friendly match? That should be fun, right?"

Fuji Shusuke narrowed his eyes like crescent moons and smiled slightly.

"Oh! Just let me win the game with a vertical smash!" Momoshiro was full of confidence. He put his arm around Echizen's neck and raised his eyebrows and asked, "You think so too, right, Echizen?"

"idiot--"

Haitangxun, who was wearing a green headscarf, immediately gave him a contemptuous look.

"Hyotei's strength cannot be underestimated." Kawamura Takashi scratched his head with a naive look on his face.

"Senior, I'll give you one more chance to reorganize your words."

At this moment, a figure suddenly handed the racket forward.

Kawamura Takashi, holding the racket, was immediately as hot as fire, with fighting spirit high.

"Burning! Burn!"

"Let my flames melt the Ice Emperor!"
